Will be very instructive and interesting and no
doubt will largely attended. Last Sunday night
Rev. ii. N. Greninger preached very interesting
sermon from the text "And Christ is all and in all,
which was listened to by a very large and atten-
tive congregation.
Mr.. Grant Greninger has contracted to put up
fence in front of the church to prevent the cattle
that stroll the highways, in violation of the law,
from marring the beauty of the premises.
woman who has been living in this neighbor-
hood applied to the Rev. II. N. Greninger with a
license to be married, but refused because she
has husband living. The parties then went to
Baltimore where they found some one to marry
them. She stated that her husband is married
again and therefore trouble could happen to
the minister for performing the ceremony, but the
minister informed her that would not relieve him
from the penalty of the law.
Rev. Ii. N. Greninger lost very fine male hog
last week. 1t died of lockjaw superinduced by the
use OF salt, most powerful irritant, instead of
ashes, tar or some other healing remedy.
Two letters received by your correspondent
one from Kansas and the other from Nebraska
state that the crops throughout those States prom
Use larger yield this than any previous year.
The wheat heads are larger and better filled than
this time last year. The potato crop also is very
promising. The fruit trees cannot possibly bear
up under their load. The Kansas letter states also
that the last brewer in the State has rendered up
the ghost" Before expiring he exclaimed, "Wel,
they can say what they please, but know it for
fact that prohibition does prohibit 1t also
states that there are only two prisoners in the Jail
at Topeka, and they are horse thieves.
A certain Christian gentleman in our commune
ty considers it Christian act to back water on
his neighbors, and also to food the public high
way, but his neighbors and the public do not con-
slider 1t Christian act, neither do they intend to
put with any longer. Our road supervisor said
to Jour correspondent the other day, "I have no.
tilted him not to stop up those drains again and if
he does will warrant him right off," But whether
this Christian gentleman has received the notice
not the road stands full of water all the same.
AS the common sense law is that no man shall
back water on another or impede in any way the
free natural course Of water, this Christian gentle
man had better remove the impedment he has
placed in his neighbours stone wall to stop and
thereby back the water on said neighbor, or he
will get himself into trouble. More anon on this
subject.
Quite a cat(astrophe) occurred in this commu-
nifty last Sunday. cat, having tired of eating
rats and mice, concluded to make change and
diet on spring chicken, she wendell her way to
a coop near by and made selection. As she was
bearing off her trophy she was observed and several
joined in pursuit, among whom were Rev. II. n
Greninger, Messrs. Bupperts and others. The
chase would vie favorably with those of the West
ern wids or that of the Modocs amid the lava
beds when Custer fell, and was quite as exciting,
especially the wild whoop that rang out on
the quiet Sunday stiffness of Hebbville. But the
cat escaped to dine again at her leisure on spring
chicken. T.
